About This Item

Details

Cephalexin is a cephalosporin antibiotic commonly used for various bacterial skin infections in cats and dogs. Cephalexin is generally considered more effective against actively growing susceptible bacteria. It works by binding and disrupting certain bacterial proteins associated with bacterial cell wall generation which eventually leads to bacteria death. This medication comes in powder form, with simple instructions for reconstitution. Once mixed, the easy-to-administer liquid suspension can be given exactly as prescribed by your veterinarian.

This drug is shipped to you in powder form due to refrigeration and discarding timeframe requirements provided by the manufacturer after mixing with the proper amount of water.

We directly source prescription medications from manufacturers and wholesale distributors registered with the FDA and licensed by applicable state boards. Guaranteed genuine, and where applicable, backed by the manufacturer.

Missing info

The order came quickly, but the label that was put on the bottles covered the mixing instructions for the powder. All of the paperwork regarding the instructions had none of the water amount needed to mix the powder to make it an oral solution. I finally found the instructions by looking up the meds on the website and enlarging the photo to read what the label had covered on the delivered powder. The order was received on the weekend, so I had to wait for the vet to open on Monday to get help with the required amount of 67 ml. that I had no way to measure. It would be helpful to get more info in the paperwork accompanying the meds on how to mix it as it was sold to a customer and not a pharmacist.

When all was said and done there was nothing wrong with the antibiotic however it took almost a week to arrive and it was not constituted when it did. I had to make a special trip to veterinary office to have it made into liquid form. Very disappointed.
